Abstract We have measured the intensity of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) at a frequency of 1.410 GHz (21.26 cm wavelength), using a total-power radiometer. The brightness temperature of the CMBR at 1.410 GHz is 2.11 +/- 0.38 K at the 68% confidence level. The predominant sources of error are uncertainties in the reflection characteristics of the absolute reference load (0.03 +/- 0.31 K), subtraction of the signal from the galaxy (0.80 +/- 0.16 K), and Earth's atmosphere (0.83 +/- 0.10 K).
